TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:
Enjoy an Insider Look at San Francisco on a Top-Rated City Tour
Start the day off by visiting all the most distinct and beautiful neighborhoods in the city. From seeing Chinatown and walking along Billionaire’s Row to crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, you will be able to check all of San Francisco’s most unique areas off your bucket list. Our expert guides will walk you through the history, stories, and small details of the city that you may not have discovered if you explored on your own.
This is not your standard hop-on, hop-off bus tour. Groups stay with the same bus for the entire trip with several breaks and iconic photo stops along the way. Our smaller buses offer an intimate experience without sacrificing personal space or comfort. We make sure every person on our city tour feels seen and accounted for.
Marvel at the Redwoods on a Walk Through Muir Woods National Monument
After exploring San Francisco, marvel at the redwoods on a walk through Muir Woods National Monument. This is the perfect nature escape just a stone’s throw away from the city. We’ll spend over an hour here, giving you ample time to experience one of the last remaining coastal redwood forests in the world!
Enjoy a Lunch Break in Sausalito
After Muir Woods, we will stop in the quaint little town of Sausalito on our way back to San Francisco for a lunch break. You will have numerous choices for lunch in this beautiful bayside town.
Escape to Alcatraz Island
In the afternoon, you will board the ferry for the Official Alcatraz Day Tour. This former federal prison was once home to infamous criminals Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and it is a must-do while visiting San Francisco.
